Three allied consumer groups were told today they'll have to wait before their application to join the battle between Sharman Networks and various Australian record labels is considered.
Justice Murray Wilcox has promised to "crack the whip" in regards to the Sharman Networks alleged copyright infringement court battle, saying the company that owns the file-sharing service Kazaa has given "too many promises".
Sharman Networks were called back to court today to settle a dispute over evidence confiscated under Anton Piller (or civil search warrant) orders from CEO Nikki Hemming's house last February. The raids followed allegations of copyright infringement made by Universal Music Australia.
Sharman License Holdings may be resting its defence on a precedent set over one hundred years ago, according to statements made by its lawyers in court last Friday, as the company prepares to face alleged music copyright infringement charges relating to its file sharing software Kazaa.
Universal Music Australia has revealed the top 100 songs that it will focus on in proceedings against peer-to-peer software distributor Sharman Networks in one of the biggest music copyright infringement cases the Australian music industry has experienced.
